She played 31 ****ing minutes? ****ing hell!

Can only be that the umpires made a mistake and nominated the wrong player.

 

[Samsquanch]

rain forecast for pretty much all of saturday at this stage

training on Wednesday this week which should also be in the rain to prep us further

Nice to see that prediction.

 

[Flawed Genius]

The Featherstone one, did she shut down a player? Did she do anything out of the ordinary? Or is it potentially mistaken identity?

I don’t know how that’s possible. There aren’t any Cats players near her number and Shierlaw is only one away but a different jumper all together.

Who did they honestly think she was?

Pretty light on tackles if she was shutting someone down.

They have 2 blonde players who's surnames begin with F.

However even if you combine their stats, statistically Jas still had a better game.

There has to be a criminal investigation into this. You should not be this wrong.

This is utter ridiculous. It’s happened too many times and for too ****ing long for it not to be a directive to the umpires to deny her votes.

Sonja please involve the Police and the AFP if you have to. Something ****ing stinks.

Must have been some 5 disposals. Presumably she kicked a point from a kick in in the backline to achieve such notice.

 

[shintemaster]

North votes for the night. Ash was BOG in five games.

Still can't believe they didn't give Ash votes in Round 2, but gave Kearney 2 votes, probably for her to goal assists for Geelong.

Do they vote on visibility? Kearney was certainly noticeable in that game - I thought it was noticeably one of her worst games since coming over.

Edit: BTW, noted in deplorable conditions and off a very short break. I love Emma, but I personally wouldn't have had her close to the bests even with so many touches.

 

[Gumble Frankieton]

It gets funnier.
The one effective disposal she had must have been something to behold.

5 kicks and 3 of them were turnovers?

 

[The Brady Bunch]

Coaches' Votes for that game:

North Melbourne v Geelong​

8 Amy McDonald (GEEL)
8 Ashleigh Riddell (NMFC)
7 Jasmine Garner (NMFC)
3 Mikayla Bowen (GEEL)
2 Nina Morrison (GEEL)
2 Emma Kearney (NMFC)

 

[Flawed Genius]

Garner had 33, 0.2, 9 tackles, 7 clearances, 5 I50s, 416 metres gained, 5 intercept possessions, a goal assist.

A.McDonald had 27, 0.0, 5 tackles, 13 clearances, 5 I50s, 257 metres gained and 4 intercept possessions.

Riddell 30 and a goal, 4 tackles and 4 clearances, 6 intercept possessions

Kearney 29 & 628 metres gained

Moloney had 2.0 from 15 touches

Mia King had 14 touches & 13 tackles to go with 4 clearances

Mikayla Bowen kicked the tying goal from 18 touches, 3 tackles & clearances

Featherston was only on the ground for 31 of a possible 81 minutes, had 1 effective touch from 5 total, had 5 pressure acts & 3 tackles. She turned the ball over 3 times, played as a mid/fwd but only kicked 0.1 (our HBFs Kearney had 29d and Bresnehan 11, but you're not going out there to shut Nic down)...

 

[Flawed Genius]

This is worse than the JHF 3 votes for a 13 touch, 0.0 game against Geelong a few years back

I've followed Georgia Nanscawen's career since she played hockey in my boy's team as a teenager, and she deservedly played hockey for Australia. But to see her finish in an AFL BnF ahead of Jasmine Garner is an indictment - it can only mean umpires have no understanding of the game (as distinct from officiating the rules, if you see the difference)

Not sure they understand either, and I know which one they should really be working on.

 

[Kangaroo Cat]

Just wanted to give props to our coaching panel amd support staff.

The players are very obviously awesome but the people who have been there with them through this journey are amazing too.

 

[bennymate]

Bloody hell I missed out on a ticket, praying for a 2nd wave on Thursday

Just read on the internet that Oliver Stone is teaming up with Kevin Costner to make a new conspiracy film in the JFK mould on this whole voting fiasco. Early market testing on the movie title includes:

1. The Invisible #25
2. Three Blind Mice
3. Clueless
4. Not so close encounters of the Best AFLW player kind.

Costner is to play Darren Crocker, and Jenn Lawrence to play Jazzy. Stevie Wonder is playing the Umpires boss. Aaron Sorkin is writing the script with a musical score by Hans Zimmer.

Surely you don't get an American to play an Aussie Legend. They just can't get the Aussie accent.

To be fair to Georgia, I watched her live in the Dreamtime game and thought she was BOG. She didn’t get any votes, the usual suspect did though.

Umpires’ heads would have exploded having Conti and Prespakis in the same game though.

And Erin Phillips as the side line reporter.

If anyone comes across a spare ticket or can't use one anymore, please let me know!

 

[Samsquanch]

I don’t know how that’s possible

I don't think they could have mistakenly given votes to a player but I do wonder why they gave the votes as they did. No logical explanation comes to mind though.

 

[Pres]

Is there gambling on specific rounds and specific players with regards to votes?

Could someone place a bet on someone, let’s just say it’s Gabbi Featherstone for example,
to get exactly 1 vote and the game she gets that vote is North vs Cats?

No
